‘What happened to the testicles?’: mockery in Milan over bull mosaic’s restoration

Rampant Bull needed a makeover after wear and tear from tourists, but refurbishment ‘castrated’ it, critics say
The restoration of a floor mosaic in Milan called the Rampant Bull has been mocked after the works appear to have erased a crucial anatomical detail – its testicles.
The 19th-century mosaic in the Galleria Vittorio Emanuele II shopping arcade needed a makeover because a small crater had formed in the tiny pink tiles featuring the bull’s testicles, due to the constant stream of tourists performing a heel-spinning gesture.
